Subject: qmail install
Im am trying to install to RH 7. I've installed and looked over everything
serveral times as per the "Life with Qmail" instructions, yet Im not sure I
have a correct installation. I've even gone over the scripts character for
character 3 times.

I installed Webmin and the qmail module and its telling me that I have some
errors.

/var/qmail//users/append doesn't exist or is not a plain text file!
/var/qmail//users/exclude doesn't exist or is not a plain text file!
/var/qmail//users/include doesn't exist or is not a plain text file!
/var/qmail//users/mailnames doesn't exist or is not a plain text file!
/var/qmail//users/assign doesn't exist or is not a plain text file!
/var/qmail//control/virtualdomains doesn't exist or is not a plain text
file!

The lwq instructions didn't mention these files, so I'm assuming that they
are supposed to be created by Qmail itself. I wish there was a more
cohesive install for Qmail.
